As I have mentioned many times before to people who know me best; I love salsa! This is a variation on your normal restaurant style salsa. It tastes so fresh as if you just picked all the vegetables right from your garden!

1. Dice up the yellow and red onion.
2. Dice up the tomatoes.
3. Grab the bunch of cilantro, and chop it up very finely. I love cilantro, so I probably add at least 1 cup to this pico. Add more/less depending on your liking to this side.
4. Slice up 1 or 2 jalapenos in half and then dice into very tiny pieces.
5. Next, add all of the above into a large mixing bowl and give a good stir until everything is combined well.
6. Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from the lime into the bowl.
7. Sprinkle with kosher salt and stir well until combined. I normally add extra salt on the top right before this is served.

To me, there is nothing better than tortilla chips and salsa for a quick snack. In a perfect world, I’d eat the salsa from “On the Border” everyday! Their salsa is so flavorful, fresh, and the perfect consistency. Unfortunately I can’t go to On the Border everyday! As a backup, I always make sure I have a jar of salsa or some store made
pico de gallo on hand; they are great in a pinch! However, when I’m looking for salsa similar to my favorite Mexican chain restaurant, I make it! This is the real stuff! To me, this stuff screams On the Border! It’s spicy. It’s fresh. It’s good!

If you don’t like spicy things, I would recommend using 1 jalapeño first. After tasting salsa with 1st jalapeño, determine if you want more spice. If you want more spice, add second jalapeño! Get ready for the heat!
To keep the salsa freshest the longest I store in 2 large size mason jars. The presentation in itself is nice; but these salsa filled jars make lovely gifts as well! Just add a bag of your favorite tortilla chips and your friend will be delighted!

The first time I made this for my husband he asked me: “What’s the green stuff?”! He was skeptical, but after the initial forkful he smiled and mentioned to me how much he enjoyed it! He liked this side dish so much, he asked me to make it the next night again! It’s not your […]

Sautéed peas with salt, pepper, and shallots! I didn’t use a recipe in making this, just added as I went along and this side dish turned out delicious! I diced 2 shallots and sautéed them in a small pan with a tablespoon of butter. Once browned, I added in a cup of frozen peas and […]
